This is the largest order so far placed
on this river for ore sleds, and as Mr..

Mrs. George NJ. Parsons received a
telegram from her husband, yesterday
directing her to come and meet him
in Boise, right away. Whether he
was sick or well, the telegram did not
state; but as the summons was en-
tlrely unexpected, she feared that he
might be dangerously i'll, and she left
on last nights train for Boise.
Ex-Sheriff Furey will leave to night
for his Lost River ranch. He has
had fair luck at the present term of
court, having won one case in which
he recovered something like $500,
settled another for 5000 and secured
fair Fighting chance" in two other
cases in which over $1,000 are in
volved. If he does as we'll at the
next term he will then be able to
consider his official business about
closed.

QUALITY OF THE ORES.

1t is conceded by all that the ores
of Wood River, while they are not
found in such enormous quantities as
characterize the smelling ore deposits
of Leadville, and particularly of Il e
Occur d'Alenes, are rich in silver far
beyond the average. The rule Is, a
small quantity of rich ore, a little
thought will show, when experience
has not, how this condition Of affairs
must affect a camp. The mines may
then lie worked in small way and
made 20 pay. For whereas rich cor
porations alone can perform TIE large
operations necessary in order to profit
ably handle large amounts Of poor
ore, common individuals are enabled
to do the converse-rhat is, extract
the comparatively small amount of
rich ore, " hose sale for cash will ena-

River is about l25 ounces of silver
per ton, with 60 per cent lead. Of
course every one knows that so far as
the leadsiver belt, of which we are
speaking, is concerned, the ore is all
galena, more or less impure. Taking
the average New York price of lead
as basis, with silver at 90 cents, the
absolute value of ton of ore would
be about $l15. OF course, as it can
only be treated by smelling, no part
of it is reduced at the mines, but all
has to be transported to reduction
works at distance. AS matter of
fact, it is mostly transported thou
sand miles, more or less, to Denver,
to Omaha, to Pueblo, or to Salt Lake,
where it is eagerly bought by shrewd
buyers for the local works, for the
purpose of smelling along with dis
similar ores from other regions, most
advantageous combinations being thus
made to assist the smelling process.
The Wood River miner is now, has
ever been, and doubtless will always
be subject to the expense of shipping
his ores and of working them at what
ever works they may be purchased.
For, although these charges are not
always paid by him, still a sum equal
to the payment is retained by the pur-
chaser for that purpose, so that the
money comes directly out of the sell
er's pocket. The Wood River ores
being of regular composition, that is,
composed of galena, with a gangue of
quartz or other vein matter, and hav-
ing, with the occasional exception of
zinc blende, no substances injurious
to smelling, the Eastern ore buyers,
who, by the way, number some of the
most influential moneyed corporations
of the country, have fixed a nearly
uniform and invariable price for
smelting-a price, may say, that
will leave profit enough at Denver,
Pueblo or Omaha to satisfy the most
exacting of their stockholders. This
general rate is So per ton, while if
we consider the quality of the ore,
which runs SO very high in lead, max
ing it extremely valuable to the smelt-
ers, it ought to be IS per ton. For
even in Portland, where nuxes cos,
far more than at the large smelling
points, and where coke is higher, the
Wood River galena might be smelted
for 50 per ton, as | can show by I'M
deniable figures.
The tendency is for these ores to 90
eastward, aud this tendency is not
liable to change for many years. For
it is IN Denver, Kansas City, Omaha,
and few other points that their
treatment is most advantageously eff
fected, while there the operations are
best understood. The work is carried
on in those centers upon an amazing
scale. All the requirements of smelt.
ing and refining are very abundant
and far cheaper than they can posi-
bly, become elsewhere. Skilled EN-.
ployes are at hand. Railroad compa
mics are favorably disposed, their
good will being the most important
advantage possessed by the smelling
companies. We of the extreme West
who would fain smelt lead ores, can
not for years expect or hope to com
pete with companies possessing adj
vantages such as these. Therefore |
think that the ores of Wool River
will continue to be smeted at eastern
points for considerable time at least.

"With regard to the intellectual facul-
ties Of the Onas, they cannot be much de-
veloped, if we may judge by the primitive
implements they use in their everyday
life Their tools, for the most part, con-
sst of pieces of iron, taken from some
vessel cast on shore, wrapped up and tied
to pieces of wood by leather thongs. For
digging up the ground they use the
shoulder blade of the guanaco, and the
only water vessels they have are large
marine shells, scallop or trumpet shaped.
They have no canoes nor do they devote
themselves to fishing. They only pick up
the fish cast on shore when the heavy tides
run out. Some intellectual effort is re-
marked in the making of arrows and bas-
kers. The former are beautifully finished
and evenly pointed with sharpened stones
or pieces of glass picked up on the shores.
The baskets are made of rushes, which
are so interviewer as to be at the same
time strong and flexible. A cord made of
guanacO sinew, placed across the opening
OF the basket, serves as a handle. To
catch birds they use traps made of thin
and flexible whalebone, in the form of
movable rings, which, being hidden in the
grass, answer the same purpose as the
well known wooden trap for catching
cartridges and other game.
During the course of the expedition l
tried to enter into friendly relations with
the Onas whom met, but, am sorry to
say without any success. Instead of cor
responding with our friendly relations and
dispositions, they invariably showed an
undisguised tendency to make war on u.s."

TERRA DEL FUEG0,
AND THE INDIANS OF THAT FAR
AWAY ISLAND.

Reports from Consul Baker of Interest
to All Who Care for Anthropological
studies-The Ynhgan and the Ona In
dians-nIuch Curious Information.
The state department at Washington,
writes +. &. Carpenter, lately received a
report from Consul Baker, who represents
this government at BuenOs Ayres, in re-
gard to the inhabitants of TERRA del Fue-
go. This country comprises the islands
lying south Of the Straits of Magellan,
and it is perhaps as little known as any
land on the face of the globe. During the
last few years explorations have been
made of it, however, by the government
Of the Argentine Republic, and Consul
Baker has gathered large amount of
valuable information from visitors to tho
islands. He says that the climate is more
moderate than that of Canada, that part
of the country contains great quantities Of
gold, and that it is full of beautiful
scenery. The country is about rs big as
Kansas in area and its width is about $50
miles. 1t has mountains, lakes and
rivers, and 1t is by no means the region
of perpetual snow that it has been sup
posed to be.
The consul sends some sketches of the
inhabitants, and these sketches are repro
duced for this article. He says the in
habitants are of two classes, and that they
are the most barbarous of savages. The
